ABOUT US
An experienced team of proven achievers

Edinburgh Partners was founded in 2003 by Dr Sandy Nairn, the chief executive, and a team of experienced colleagues, many of whom had previously worked together to achieve an impressive turnaround in the investment performance of Scottish Widows Investment Partnership.

Before his recruitment as Chief Investment Officer at Scottish Widows Investment Partnership in 2000, Dr Nairn had a 10-year career at the Templeton/Franklin group, latterly as Director of Global Equity Research, based in Edinburgh and Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He was short listed as European Institutional CIO of the Year in 2002.

Establishing Edinburgh Partners is the culmination of a long-held ambition to establish a new specialist investment firm that focuses 100% on global investment analysis of the highest quality. All the investment partners have specific responsibilities for sector and regional research in addition to their fund management roles.

The partners share the same investment philosophy and approach, which they implemented together successfully as a team during their time as Scottish Widows Investment Partnership. They are supported by a back office team and a state-of-the-art technology platform designed to provide investors with timely and up-to-date information about their investments.

Although the investment management marketplace has become increasingly competitive, it is characterised by a growing disenchantment with the shortcomings of current industry practice. We believe that the simplicity, purity and independence of our investment approach offers clients, investors and intermediaries a rewarding new alternative to existing fund management providers.
